Bloxorz

Bloxorz

Today's time sink is an addicting puzzle game named Bloxorz.  The goal of the game is simple:  you must get your rectangular block to fall through the hole in the stage without falling off the outer edges.  You use the arrow keys to roll the block or flip the block end over end.  To add some skill to it there are a few different switches that do various things like make bridges or teleport your block and split it in half.  I was able to get to level 12 before frustration go the best of me.  Let me know how well you do.

Upgrading is the best part of most any game, right?  Well you're in luck with this game.  You have to upgrade to even play the darn thing!  Not only do you get to upgrade your in-game ship with new parts and then upgrade those parts, you get to upgrade the game itself.  You might consider buying a preloader and a loading bar, else the game won't do much.  Fortunately they'll give you a loan when you start.  Have fun and come back for more games soon!

Toss the Turtle

Here's a new twist on the skill shoot for distance type of games.  In Toss the Turtle you fire your turtle friend from a cannon by varying the angle and power of the cannon.  You also get three shots from a slingshot to hit him in mid air.  You also get to adjust his forward momentum with the wasd keys.  The real fun comes from picking up money to buy upgrades and other things from the store.  These additions help keep you in a game like this for hours.

Bow Master Prelude

Jason Reinsvolds Bowmaster Prelude

Today we have Jason Reinsvold's Bowmaster prelude.  This is a fun defend-the-castle game with a twist:  You get to pull back and unleash the arrows yourself.  Your goal is to hit the advancing army troops with your arrows and eventually attack and destroy the opposing castle.  After earning some gold and XP from defeating enemy troops you can upgrade your arrows and buy support weapons such as a catapult to help you defend your castle and destroy the enemy.  This game will easily keep you distracted for hours or more.  Hope you didn't need to get any work done!  Have fun!
